Staying productive on a daily basis can be difficult. With so many possible distractions—your smartphone, streaming sites, or even your bed–it can  be a constant challenge to stay focused and finish your tasks.

Turn your work into a daily quest!

Thankfully, technology has paved the way for us to stay on top of our productivity game. We’ve found some apps that can gamify your productivity and even grant you rewards! How cool is that? Check out our app selections below!

Habitica

Habitica Desktop

From Habitica Official Website

Habitica, formerly known as HabitRPG, is a gamified task manager that literally treats your tasks as quests that reward you with gold upon completion. All you need to do is place your daily routines and long-term goals onto your tracker. Each time you check these items off the list, you gain experience and currency to level up and equip your character. You can even deduct points from yourself if you don’t accomplish a task or fail to resist doing a bad habit you’re trying to avoid (like doom-scrolling on social media). Try out Habitica on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, or their online desktop version.

Habit Hunter

Habit Hunter iOS App Store

From the App Store

Habit Hunter, similar to Habitica, is a gamified task manager where completing tasks reward you with experience and items for each completed item on your to-do list. Habit Hunter allows you to set goals, break down those goals into smaller tasks, and join a “party” for shared goals. The app is also equipped with a progress tracker so you can see how far you’ve come. As your avatar levels up in Habit Hunter’s virtual world, you’ll also level up in real life! Check out Habit Hunter on the Google Play Store and the App Store.

Forest

Forest Google Play Store

From Google Play Store

Be a hardcore digital tree planter and start your own virtual forest with Forest! The app is a screen time manager that motivates you to avoid using your phone when you’re trying to complete a task. You can set a timer for how long you want to stay focused and keep your phone screen locked, and upon completing the time, you’re rewarded with your own tree! Spend more time away from your phone and gain gold rewards which you can use to purchase other kinds of trees and plants to diversify your virtual forest. The Forest app is available on both Google Play and the App Store.

SuperBetter

Super Better

From SuperBetter Official Website

SuperBetter focuses on self-care tasks and forming healthy habits through gamified challenges. As a free player, you can join Squad Challenges that help you interact with others through group activities designed to help you develop resilience and social-emotional learning. SuperBetter also offers a paid version that allows you to have a more customized journey designed for you. Check out SuperBetter on the Google Play and the App Store.
